First Grow #1

ElCapo420 I repotted them this week because shortly after germination, the roots were already sticking out about 1cm from the Eazy Plugs. All 3 are growing very well, I moved them today from the seedling box to the tent, where the light is set to 20% and we reduced the humidity from 70% to 50%. Let's see how they like the move and the change; in the worst case, I'll still put a humidifier in there for them.

ElCapo420 They've actually handled all the changes from the move really well and have grown quite a bit. I watered them this week with the "root fertilizer" and today repotted them pretty deep into 8L fabric pots with Mycotrex because they were stretching at the beginning. I'm also very satisfied with the appearance of the roots. Overall, my ladies are definitely thriving.

ElCapo420 I decided that I would try mainlining on all three plants. That's why I topped them all for the first time on Tuesday, as I felt they had handled the repotting well and were already growing strong. By Thursday, you could already see the two new main shoots starting on all the plants, but I thought it was still a bit too early to begin LST. So, I only bent the shoots down today and secured them with soil anchors. When watering, I added some B-52 along with Voodoo Juice and Piranha this week, as well as a small dosage of Connoisseur Grow Part A & B. Since all three plants are now apparently showing signs of magnesium deficiency, I've also been mixing Epsom salt into the water for the past few days.

ElCapo420 I've continued to make sure that my two main stems are growing nicely horizontal this week. All three are drinking a lot right now due to the high temperatures. I did buy them a "climate device," but it hasn't helped much with their thirst. At the beginning of the week, I watered them once with the fertilizers from Advanced Nutrients. After that, they only got water. By the end of the week, I topped all three again to continue my mainlining attempt. Other than that, not much has happened. I wanted to leave them as undisturbed as possible in this heat.

ElCapo420 I repotted everyone into 60L pots this week because I hope they'll handle the heat better in the larger pots. They all took the repotting without any issues, and overall, they're doing really well. Unfortunately, with plant 3, one of the main stems broke off mid-week. I initially fixed it with tape, and it actually grew back well. However, when I removed the tape, it broke again. So, I'm going to try to close the gap that formed using LST with the other stems. Also, I gave them a nutrient mix once this week. The rest of the week, it was just water as usual, and only when necessary.

ElCapo420 This week, aside from continuing the LST and giving them their weekly nutrient dose, I actually just removed the leaves that were over the side shoots. Since plant 3 is significantly further along in growth and looks visibly more vigorous, I'm considering relocating plants 1 and 2 to our garden and letting them grow there. In my opinion, it would be pretty cool to fill the whole tent with just plant 3. 😂✌️

ElCapo420 Mid this week, plants #1 and #2 moved into the garden. Now they are being gradually acclimated to direct sunlight. I'm also continuing the mainlining outdoors as best as I can. Plant #3 now has the tent all to itself. I've been lightly defoliating it and removing underdeveloped shoots over the past few days so that the energy focuses on the stronger shoots. As soon as my SCROG net arrives, it will be installed. Depending on how well it fills the net in the coming weeks, I will then switch to 12/12. My two garden plants are being treated just like the plant in the tent. So I'm already curious to see how the indoor and outdoor plants develop under as similar conditions as possible. It should be an interesting comparison.

ElCapo420 The good news first, all three plants are doing very well despite the heat. Plant #1 and #2 look magnificent in my opinion and are growing excellently. They get their nutrient mix from a wine bottle to drink, along with plenty of water. This usually lasts me about two days before I need to refill the bottles. I sent Plant #3 in the tent into flowering at the beginning of the week since it has filled out the tent nicely. At the same time, I defoliated it a bit and removed underdeveloped shoots. It continues to receive 10 liters of nutrient solution once a week (of course with bloom fertilizer) and in between, it gets pH-regulated water. So far, that seems to be enough for it. There will be no more training for it – except for lollipopping after the stretch, if necessary.
